Youngblood
Song Meaning
Track by Track Guide, Rolling Stone: "This power-pop nugget is dedicated to Armstrong's wife of 22 years, Adrienne. 'I want to hold you like a gun,' he sings. 'We'll shoot the moon into the sun.' 'She's easy to write about because she's so awesome,' says Armstrong. 'She's the cedar in the trees in Minnesota.' The song comes complete with a punchline: 'Are you broken/Like I'm broken/Are you restless?/She said, 'Fuck you, I'm from Oakland!'"
Billie Joe Armstrong (Kerrang, 2016): "I've written songs about her before but they always kind of come about by accident. It's weird because when I try to write something about her, or for her, it never really works out. I don't know why that is."

Lyrics
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
She's my little young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Punch drunk and young blood
She's a loner
Not a stoner
Bleeding heart and soul of Miss Teresa
Supernova
Cherry cola
She's the cedar in the trees of Minnesota
I'm a rough boy
'round the edges
Getting drunk and falling into hedges
She's my weakness
Fucking genius
Swear to god and I'm not even superstitious
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
She my little young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Punch drunk and young blood
I want to hold you like a gun
We'll shoot the moon into the sun
Alright
Alright
Are you stranded
Like I'm stranded
Do you wanna watch the world fall to pieces
Are you broken
Like I'm broken
Are you restless
She said "Fuck you I'm from Oakland"
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
She's my little young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Punch drunk and young blood
Young blood
Young blood
She's my little young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Punch drunk and young blood
She's a loner
Not a stoner
Bleeding heart and soul of Miss Teresa
Supernova
Cherry cola
She's the cedar in the trees of Minnesota
I'm a rough boy
'round the edges
Getting drunk and falling into hedges
She's my weakness
Fucking genius
Swear to god and I'm not even superstitious
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
She my little young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Punch drunk and young blood
I want to hold you like a gun
We'll shoot the moon into the sun
Alright
Alright
Are you stranded
Like I'm stranded
Do you wanna watch the world fall to pieces
Are you broken
Like I'm broken
Are you restless
She said "Fuck you I'm from Oakland"
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
She's my little young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Punch drunk and young blood
